This is also wonderfully fresh and cool with a similar array of fruit and floral elements though here the earth element is a bit more pronounced

stone and humus still offer really lovely transparency

don’t think about touching bottles until at least 2020

but it can’t quite match the Chevalier overall excellence

but then my sentiments cooling off with each encounter

Produttori Barbaresco, Barbaresco Rio Sordo Riserva other_regions_australia This is also wonderfully freshDark cherries, game, smoke, tobacco, licorice and menthol are some of the nuances that flesh out in the 2005 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo. Heading into the first plateau of its maturity, the 2005 is also the most forward of these Riservas. As such, it should be drunk sooner rather than later. There is good depth and density in the glass, but the development of wild, gamy flavors will only accelerate with time. Antonio Galloni
